Thanks Monica, got some work done on horses but can never say they're really done until the very end. Still need to tweak some colors especially on the disemboweled one


Two more horseys coming soon. Keep checking in folks, this one is on the move.................Jim

Thats looking great, Depicts the true horror of war and what exploding metal can do to flesh and bones - no contest really. Although a gruesome scene to recreate its not the first and wont be the last, lets not forget "The highway to death" from the first gulf war in '91 with photos plastered all over the world, this time with video as well, same scene of destruction just separated by 47 years.

I'm a bit late watching this one, but there's some great work going on in this one Jim, really liking the work with the figures and horses.

You've really got those figures and horses looking so realistic....... Almost makes me feel sick Jim. Superbly done.

Thanks Steve, seems we never learn do we? Next I'd like to see ISIS strung out in the same manner but alas feckless and cowardly politicians will allow them to keep rolling on, lest we offend

Try to hold your beans through this one Peter, and if you can't at times make sure you are near a proper facility Oh, and thanks so much..........Jim

Thanks Joe, this one will be epic! no rock left unturned, have been studying many pics, not just of Falaise carnage but general WW2 related stuff.


Slow and steady as she goes, stay tuned..............Jim

The way you are portraying the damage is very impressive, the half track is just amazing.
